Thank you for your response, Susie.

I think I have not explained well. The idea is that when a screen reader
focuses on the field with aria-describedby, it will announce the paragraph
linked content. The paragraph content on the page remains visible to other
users but not again be read by screen reader. In the tests I've done has
worked well, but I wonder if there are some circumstances in which this
programming can be problematic.

Warm regards.

Ricardo,

I am assuming you are just wanting to give screen readers information which
is hidden from everyone else. Why do you think you are missing something?
